Arsenal beat Coventry 4-0

A review of Friday night's action in the FA Cup.

Barclays Premier League leaders Arsenal cruised into the fifth round of the FA Cup with a 4-0 win over Coventry at the Emirates Stadium.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger had named a strong starting XI, which included club-record signing Mesut Ozil.

The Sky Bet League 1 side were never given a chance to think about causing an upset as a first-half double from Lukas Podolski put them in control of the tie, with Olivier Giroud adding a third late on after coming off the bench and fellow substitute Santi Cazorla crashing in his third goal in two appearances on 89 minutes.

Wenger, who handed a senior debut to 16-year-old midfield prospect Gedion Zelalem - not even born when he first took charge at Highbury - will now regroup his squad for the Premier League trip to Southampton.
